LAKE GEORGE is situated at the Southeastern margin of the Adirondack 
Wilderness, 32 miles North of Saratoga, 210 miles from New York, and 
184 miles South of Montreal. It is 346 feet above tide-water, and 247 feet above 
Lake Champlain, into which it empties, at old Fort Ticonderoga. It is 35 miles 
long, but is so divided by clusters of islets or over-lapping promontories as to give 
the impression of a succession of Lakes, five in number. The Lake is from one to 
four miles wide. The first white man who is known to ha\'e seen Lake George 
was Father Jogues, who baptized it Lac du St. Sacravioit in 1646. By the Iro- 
quois it had been known as Andiatordc, " Tail of the Lake." General Johnson 
gave the Lake its present nams in 1755. The Islands— popularly supposed to 
equal the number of days in the year — number 220. Dark tradition, stirring ro- 
mance, grim histoPv', have marked the region round al)out Lake George and made 
it famous forever.
